Decided
Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The Court held that the MJC application is infructuous as the writ order has been complied with, and therefore disposed of the application.

Summary

Abdullah Shola filed a writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and several officials. The petitioner later filed a Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case (MJC) application seeking relief. Counsel for the petitioner argued that the writ order had already been complied with, rendering the MJC application infructuous. The court examined the claim of compliance and found no merit in continuing the proceedings. Consequently, the court disposed of the MJC application as infructuous, granting the petitioner liberty to challenge the order by which the writ order was complied with. The matter was concluded with an oral order dated 07-01-2026.
